Description
本発明は、高屈折低分散光学ガラスに関する。特に、低コストの高屈折低分散光学ガラスと光学素子に関する。 The present invention relates to high refraction low dispersion optical glass. In particular, the present invention relates to low-cost, high-refraction, low-dispersion optical glass and optical elements.
高屈折率低分散光学ガラスからなるレンズと高屈折率高分散光学ガラスからなるレンズを組み合わして、色差を補正することが出来、光学システムがコンパクト化になり、特に屈折率ndが1.86−1.92で、アッベ数νdが36−42の高屈折率低分散光学ガラスの市場ニーズが日々増大していく。 By combining a lens made of high-refractive-index low-dispersion optical glass and a lens made of high-refractive-index high-dispersion optical glass, color differences can be corrected, making the optical system compact, and in particular, the refractive index nd is 1.86. At -1.92, the market needs for high refractive index low dispersion optical glass with an Abbe number νd of 36-42 are increasing day by day.
日本特開2001−348244、特開2007−269584、中国CN101386469Aでは、全てこれら高折射低分散光学ガラスを開示しており、その明細書実施例では、屈折率が1.86以上の光学ガラス成分には大量のTa2O5が含まれており、Ta2O5は高価な希土類酸化物である。従って、高屈折率低分散光学ガラス原料原価の増加を抑えるために、Ta2O5含有量を減少して欲しいのだ。また、撮影或いは投射等光学システムの光学素子は、光学ガラスの透過率に対する要求が高く、高折射低分散光学ガラスで出来たレンズから透過する明るさが足りないと、光学システムの投射光度が大幅に低減するか極端に減少してしまうので、優れた透過率性能の光学ガラスを望んでいる。 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-348244, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2007-269584, and China CN1013864669A all disclose these high-folding low-dispersion optical glasses, and in the examples of the specification, the optical glass component having a refractive index of 1.86 or more Contains a large amount of Ta 2 O 5 and Ta 2 O 5 is an expensive rare earth oxide. Therefore, in order to suppress the increase in the cost of raw materials for high-refractive-index, low-dispersion optical glass, we would like you to reduce the Ta 2 O 5 content. In addition, the optical elements of optical systems such as photography or projection have high requirements for the transmittance of optical glass, and if the brightness transmitted from a lens made of high-folding low-dispersion optical glass is insufficient, the projected light intensity of the optical system will be large. I want an optical glass with excellent transmittance performance because it will be reduced or extremely reduced.
本発明が解決しようとする課題は、屈折率が1.85以上で、アッベ数が35−45の高屈折低分散光学ガラスを提供することにある。当該ガラスはPbOを含まず、ガラス成分のTa2O5含有量が低減される場合に優れた透過率を有する。 An object to be solved by the present invention is to provide a high refraction low dispersion optical glass having a refractive index of 1.85 or more and an Abbe number of 35 to 45. The glass does not contain PbO and has excellent transmittance when the Ta 2 O 5 content of the glass component is reduced.

本発明の有益な効果:ガラス成分のTa2O5含有量を下げ、適量のLa2O3、Gd2O3、Y2O3及びYb2O3等高屈折率低分散の希土類酸化物を導入し、また、適量比例のNb2O5或はTiO2の1種或いは数種を導入して、これら成分の配合比率を最適化し、且つ、ガラスにはPbOが含まず、そのため優れた透過率の高屈折率低分散の環境にやさしい光学ガラスが得られ、また、記述の光学ガラスからなるガラス母材と光学素子が得られる。 Beneficial effect of the present invention: A rare earth oxide having a high refractive index and low dispersion such as La 2 O 3 , Gd 2 O 3 , Y 2 O 3 and Yb 2 O 3 by lowering the Ta 2 O 5 content of the glass component. In addition, one or several kinds of Nb 2 O 5 or TiO 2 in proportion to an appropriate amount were introduced to optimize the blending ratio of these components, and the glass did not contain PbO, so that it was excellent.

I.光学ガラス
本明細書において、各組成の含有量、総含有量は特別説明のない限り、重量百分率で示す。更に、ガラス成分の含有量と総含有量の比は重量比で示す。更に、以下の説明において、規定値以下或いは規定値以上の場合も当該規定値を含むものとする。
I. Optical glass In the present specification, the content and total content of each composition are indicated by weight percentage unless otherwise specified. Further, the ratio of the content of the glass component to the total content is indicated by a weight ratio. Furthermore, in the following description, the specified value shall be included even if it is below the specified value or above the specified value.
B2O3はガラスの網目形成成分であり、ガラスの可溶性を向上して、ガラス状転移温度を下げる役割をする。上記の効果を達成するため、本発明では1%以上或いはもっと多くのB2O3を取入れるが、その取入れ量が30%を超えてしまうと、ガラスの安定性が下がり、屈折率も下がり、本発明の高屈折率ガラスは得られなくなる。従って、1−30%のB2O3を取入れ、好ましくはB2O3を5−25%取り入れ、更に好ましくは7−20%を取入れる。 B 2 O 3 is a network-forming component of glass and plays a role of improving the solubility of glass and lowering the vitreous transition temperature. In order to achieve the above effects, 1% or more or more B 2 O 3 is incorporated in the present invention, but if the incorporated amount exceeds 30%, the stability of the glass decreases and the refractive index also decreases. , The high refractive index glass of the present invention cannot be obtained. Therefore, 1-30% of B 2 O 3 is incorporated, preferably 5-25% of B 2 O 3 is incorporated, and more preferably 7-20% is incorporated.
SiO2はガラスの熱安定性の役割を有し、ガラス溶融及び形成時の粘度を上げることができる。但し、その含有量が20%を超えてしまうと、ガラスは溶けにくくなり、本発明の屈折率が得られなくなる。従って、本発明のSiO2の含有量は0−20%とし、好ましくはSiO2含有量を0.1−15%とし、更に好ましくは3−12%とする。 SiO 2 has a role of thermal stability of the glass and can increase the viscosity at the time of glass melting and formation. However, if the content exceeds 20%, the glass becomes difficult to melt and the refractive index of the present invention cannot be obtained. Therefore, the content of SiO 2 of the present invention is 0 to 20%, preferably the content of SiO 2 is 0.1 to 15%, and more preferably 3 to 12%.
ガラスの溶融性を改善し、ガラスの安定性及び溶融ガラス成形に適切な粘性を維持するため、本発明で導入するSiO2含有量はより小なりイコールB2O3の含有量で、即ちSiO2≦B2O3である。 In order to improve the meltability of the glass and maintain the stability of the glass and the viscosity suitable for molten glass molding, the SiO 2 content introduced in the present invention is smaller and equal to the content of B 2 O 3 , that is, SiO. 2 ≤ B 2 O 3 .
また透過率の高いガラスを得るために、ガラス的溶融温度の上昇を抑制し、溶融ガラスに溶融する白金イオン等着色を悪化させる物質の混入量を減少・抑制し、本発明ガラスのアッベ数範囲を効果的に調整する為、本発明ではSiO2/(SiO2+B2O3)範囲を好ましくは0.5以下とし、更に好ましくは0.1−0.45とし、より更に好ましくは0.25−0.4範囲とする。 Further, in order to obtain a glass having high transmittance, an increase in the glass-like melting temperature is suppressed, and the amount of a substance that worsens coloring such as platinum ions melted in the molten glass is reduced / suppressed, and the Abbe number range of the glass of the present invention is obtained. In the present invention, the SiO 2 / (SiO 2 + B 2 O 3 ) range is preferably 0.5 or less, more preferably 0.1-0.45, and even more preferably 0. The range is 25-0.4.
La2O3は、本発明の必要な光学特性を得る必須組成である。La2O3の含有量が25%より小さい場合は、必要な光学特性は果たせなくなる。但しその含有量が55%を超えてしまうと、ガラスの耐失透性と溶融性能が全て悪化してしまう。そのため、本発明のLa2O3の含有量は25−55%とし、好ましくは30−52%とし、更に好ましくは35−50%とする。 La 2 O 3 is an essential composition for obtaining the required optical properties of the present invention. If the content of La 2 O 3 is less than 25%, the required optical properties cannot be achieved. However, if the content exceeds 55%, the devitrification resistance and melting performance of the glass are all deteriorated. Therefore, the content of La 2 O 3 of the present invention is 25-55%, preferably 30-52%, and more preferably 35-50%.
本発明ではGd2O3とLa2O3が共存することによって、形成するガラスの安定性を向上することができる。但し、Gd2O3の含有量が5%以下の場合は、上記の効果は明らかでない。その含有量が40%を超えてしまうと、ガラスの耐失透性が低下し、ガラスの安定性が悪くなってしまう。従って、本発明ではGd2O3の含有量は5−40%で、好ましくは5−35%範囲とし、更に好ましくは10−30%範囲とする。 In the present invention, the coexistence of Gd 2 O 3 and La 2 O 3 can improve the stability of the formed glass. However, when the content of Gd 2 O 3 is 5% or less, the above effect is not clear. If the content exceeds 40%, the devitrification resistance of the glass is lowered and the stability of the glass is deteriorated. Therefore, in the present invention, the content of Gd 2 O 3 is 5-40%, preferably in the range of 5-35%, and more preferably in the range of 10-30%.
本発明の高屈折低分散作用の組成では、好ましくはY2O3を取入れる事によって、ガラスの溶融性、耐失透性を改善することが出来、更にガラスの結晶上限温度を下げることができるが、その含有量が25%を超えてしまうと、ガラスの安定性、耐失透性が下がってしまう。そのため、Y2O3の含有量範囲は0−25%とし、好ましくは0−20%範囲とし、更に好ましくは2−15%範囲とする。 The composition of the high refractive index and low dispersion effect of the present invention, preferably by introducing a Y 2 O 3, glass meltability, it is possible to improve devitrification resistance, can further reduce the crystal upper limit temperature of the glass However, if the content exceeds 25%, the stability and devitrification resistance of the glass will decrease. Therefore, the content range of Y 2 O 3 is 0 to 25%, preferably 0 to 20%, and more preferably 2 to 15%.
Yb2O3も高屈折、低分散性能の組成を付与された物で、その取入れ量が10%超えてしまうと、ガラスの耐結晶性能が下がるので、その含有量を好ましくは0−10%とする。更にYb2O3はGd2O3、Y2O3に比べて比較的に高価であり、ガラスの溶融性能の改善に作用は少ないので、好ましくは導入しない。 Yb 2 O 3 is also given a composition of high refraction and low dispersion performance, and if the amount of Yb 2 O 3 taken in exceeds 10%, the crystal resistance of the glass decreases, so the content is preferably 0-10%. And. Further, Yb 2 O 3 is relatively expensive as compared with Gd 2 O 3 and Y 2 O 3 , and has little effect on improving the melting performance of glass, and therefore is not preferably introduced.
La2O3、Gd2O3、Y2O3とYb2O3において、ガラスの屈折率を向上して、且つガラスの安定性を維持する一番大きな成分はLa2O3である。但し、本発明の光学ガラスはLa2O3のみ使う場合は、充分なガラスの安定性を保証することが難しい。従って、本発明ではLa2O3成分の導入量が一番多く、更にLa2O3とGd2O3を共存させる。或いは好ましくはLa2O3、Gd2O3とY2O3を共存させる。更に好ましくはY2O3/(La2O3+Gd2O3+Y2O3+Yb2O3)を0.2以下とし、より更に好ましくはY2O3/(La2O3+Gd2O3+Y2O3)を0.01−0.15とし、更に一歩好ましくはY2O3/(La2O3+Gd2O3+Y2O3)を0.05−0.12とすることで、優れるガラス安定性を有する高屈折率低分散のガラスが得られ、同時にガラスは着色し難い。 In La 2 O 3 , Gd 2 O 3 , Y 2 O 3 and Y b 2 O 3 , the largest component that improves the refractive index of glass and maintains the stability of glass is La 2 O 3 . However, when the optical glass of the present invention uses only La 2 O 3, it is difficult to guarantee sufficient glass stability. Therefore, in the present invention, the amount of the La 2 O 3 component introduced is the largest, and La 2 O 3 and Gd 2 O 3 coexist. Alternatively, La 2 O 3 , Gd 2 O 3 and Y 2 O 3 coexist. More preferably, Y 2 O 3 / (La 2 O 3 + Gd 2 O 3 + Y 2 O 3 + Yb 2 O 3 ) is 0.2 or less, and even more preferably Y 2 O 3 / (La 2 O 3 + Gd 2 O). 3 + Y 2 O 3 ) should be 0.01-0.15, and one step more preferably Y 2 O 3 / (La 2 O 3 + Gd 2 O 3 + Y 2 O 3 ) should be 0.05-0.12. As a result, a glass having a high refractive index and a low dispersion having excellent glass stability can be obtained, and at the same time, the glass is difficult to color.
Nb2O5はガラスの屈折率と分散を向上する役割を有し、ガラスの耐結晶性と化学耐久性を向上する役割を有する。但しNb2O5の含有量が1%未満の場合は、上記の効果は得られなくなる。その含有量が30%を超えてしまうと、ガラスの分散が向上され、本発明のガラスの光学特性は果たせなく、耐失透性も悪化してしまう。そのため、Nb2O5の含有量範囲は1−30%とし、好ましくは2−25%範囲とし、更に好ましくは3−20%範囲とし、より更に好ましくは4−15%範囲とする。 Nb 2 O 5 has a role of improving the refractive index and dispersion of glass, and has a role of improving crystallinity and chemical durability of glass. However, if the content of Nb 2 O 5 is less than 1%, the above effect cannot be obtained. If the content exceeds 30%, the dispersion of the glass is improved, the optical characteristics of the glass of the present invention cannot be achieved, and the devitrification resistance is also deteriorated. Therefore, the content range of Nb 2 O 5 is 1-30%, preferably 2-25%, more preferably 3-20%, and even more preferably 4-15%.
Ta2O5はガラスの屈折率を向上する役割を有し、同時にガラスの低分散を維持する役割がNb2O5より優れる。ガラスの安定性を更に改善する必要がある場合は、少量のTa2O5を導入することで一部のNb2O5を代替することができる。但し、その他の成分と比べTa2O5は非常に高価であるため、本発明の実用性及び原価から勘案してその使用量を減少した。本発明のTa2O5含有量は0−10%で、好ましくは0−5%範囲で、更に好ましくは導入しない。 Ta 2 O 5 has a role of improving the refractive index of glass, and at the same time, has a role of maintaining low dispersion of glass, which is superior to Nb 2 O 5 . If the stability of the glass needs to be further improved, some Nb 2 O 5 can be replaced by introducing a small amount of Ta 2 O 5 . However, since Ta 2 O 5 is very expensive as compared with other components, the amount used has been reduced in consideration of the practicality and cost of the present invention. The Ta 2 O 5 content of the present invention is 0-10%, preferably in the range of 0-5%, and more preferably not introduced.
TiO2もガラス屈折率を向上する役割を有し、更にガラス網目形成に参加し、適量な導入はガラスが更に安定させる。但し、その含有量があまりにも多くなると、ガラス分散が明らかに増やし、同時にガラスの可視光エリアの短波部分の透射率が低下され、ガラスの着色傾向が増加される。そのため、本発明では好ましくはTiO2の含有量を0−10%とし、更に好ましくはTiO2の含有量を0.1−5%とし、より更に好ましくは0.5−3%範囲とする。 TiO 2 also has a role of improving the refractive index of glass, further participates in the formation of a glass network, and the introduction of an appropriate amount further stabilizes the glass. However, if the content is too high, the glass dispersion is clearly increased, and at the same time, the transmittance of the short wave portion of the visible light area of the glass is lowered, and the coloring tendency of the glass is increased. Therefore, preferably in the present invention the content of TiO 2 and 0-10%, more preferably the content of TiO 2 and 0.1-5%, even more preferably at 0.5-3% range.
本発明ガラス成分にTa2O5の導入量が低下或いは導入しない場合は、Nb2O5或いはTiO2を導入することによって、好ましくはTiO2とNb2O5をガラス成分として共存させ、更に好ましくはTiO2/Nb2O5を0.3以下に抑制し、より更に好ましくはTiO2/Nb2O5を0.25以下とし、より一歩更に好ましくはTiO2/Nb2O5を0.2以下とすることで、高屈折低分散を実現し、ガラス着色度を抑制すると同時に、ガラスの安定性が優れる。 When the amount of Ta 2 O 5 introduced into the glass component of the present invention is reduced or not introduced, Nb 2 O 5 or TiO 2 is introduced, preferably TiO 2 and Nb 2 O 5 coexist as the glass component, and further. Preferably, TiO 2 / Nb 2 O 5 is suppressed to 0.3 or less, further preferably TiO 2 / Nb 2 O 5 is set to 0.25 or less, and even more preferably dio 2 / Nb 2 O 5 is set to 0. By setting it to .2 or less, high refraction and low dispersion are realized, the degree of glass coloring is suppressed, and at the same time, the stability of the glass is excellent.
本発明は少量のZrO2を導入することによって、ガラス屈折率と安定性を向上し、0.5%或いはもっと多くのZrO2を導入することができる。但し、ZrO2導入量が20%を超えてしまうと、ガラスは溶け難く、均一なガラスが得られなくなる。そのため、本発明のZrO2の含有量範囲は0.5−20%とし、好ましい含有量範囲は1−15%とし、更に好ましい範囲は3−10%とする。 The present invention can improve the glass refractive index and stability by introducing a small amount of ZrO 2, and can introduce 0.5% or more ZrO 2 . However, if the amount of ZrO 2 introduced exceeds 20%, the glass is difficult to melt and a uniform glass cannot be obtained. Therefore, the content range of ZrO 2 of the present invention is 0.5-20%, the preferable content range is 1-15%, and the more preferable range is 3-10%.
本発明では好ましくはガラス成分にNb2O5の導入量を大なりイコールZrO2とし、即ちNb2O5≧ZrO2とし、ガラスの着色を効果的に抑制し、且つガラスの耐失透性能を向上する。本発明では、更に好ましくはNb2O5/(Nb2O5+TiO2+ZrO2)を0.4−0.8範囲とし、更に好ましくは0.45−0.7の範囲とし、より更に好ましくは0.48−0.6の範囲とし、ガラスの着色をより良く抑制し、ガラスの透過率を向上する事ができる。 In the present invention, preferably, the amount of Nb 2 O 5 introduced into the glass component is set to be equal to ZrO 2 , that is, Nb 2 O 5 ≥ ZrO 2 , the coloring of the glass is effectively suppressed, and the devitrification resistance of the glass is achieved. To improve. In the present invention, Nb 2 O 5 / (Nb 2 O 5 + TiO 2 + ZrO 2 ) is more preferably in the range of 0.4-0.8, still more preferably in the range of 0.45-0.7, and even more preferably. Is in the range of 0.48-0.6, and the coloring of the glass can be better suppressed and the transmittance of the glass can be improved.
本発明では好ましくはNb2O5、Ta2O5とZrO2の合計量を抑制している。(Nb2O5+Ta2O5+ZrO2)とSiO2とB2O3の合計量(SiO2+B2O3)の比で、好ましくは(Nb2O5+Ta2O5+ZrO2)/(SiO2+B2O3)の比を1より小さくし、更に好ましくは0.1−0.9範囲とし、より更に好ましくは0.5−0.8範囲として、本発明で好ましく選定した屈折率とアッベ数範囲を実現すると同時に、ガラスの着色を効果的に抑制し、ガラスの熱安定性と耐失透性能を向上する。 In the present invention, the total amount of Nb 2 O 5 , Ta 2 O 5 and ZrO 2 is preferably suppressed. The total amount of (Nb 2 O 5 + Ta 2 O 5 + ZrO 2) and SiO 2, B 2 O 3 at a ratio of (SiO 2 + B 2 O 3 ), preferably (Nb 2 O 5 + Ta 2 O 5 + ZrO 2) / The refractive index preferably selected in the present invention is such that the ratio of (SiO 2 + B 2 O 3 ) is smaller than 1, more preferably 0.1-0.9 range, and even more preferably 0.5-0.8 range. At the same time as achieving the rate and Abbe number range, it effectively suppresses the coloring of the glass and improves the thermal stability and devitrification resistance of the glass.
WO3は屈折率を向上する役割をするが、その含有量が10%を超えてしまうと、分散が著しく高くなり、かつ、ガラスの可視光エリアの短波の長い側の投射率を低下させ、着色の増加傾向があるため、本発明ではWO3の含有量を好ましくは0−10%とし、更に好ましくは0−5%とし、より更に好ましくは0−3%とし、より一歩好ましくは導入しないことである。 WO 3 plays a role in improving the refractive index, but when the content exceeds 10%, the dispersion becomes remarkably high and the projection rate on the long side of the short wave in the visible light area of the glass is lowered. In the present invention, the content of WO 3 is preferably 0-10%, more preferably 0-5%, even more preferably 0-3%, and even more preferably not introduced because of the increasing tendency of coloring. That is.
適量のZnOはガラスの安定性或いは溶融性を改善し、加圧成形を改善する役割をするが、その含有量が余りにも高くなると、屈折率が下がって、本発明の要求を満たさず、ガラスの耐失透性も下がり、液相温度が上昇してしまう。そのため、本発明ではZnOの含有量を0−15%とし,好ましくはZnOの含有量は0−10とし、更に好ましくはZnOの含有量を0−5%とし、より更に好ましくは導入しない。 An appropriate amount of ZnO plays a role of improving the stability or meltability of the glass and improving the pressure molding, but if the content is too high, the refractive index is lowered and the requirement of the present invention is not satisfied, and the glass is not satisfied. The devitrification resistance of the glass also decreases, and the liquidus temperature rises. Therefore, in the present invention, the ZnO content is 0-15%, preferably the ZnO content is 0-10, more preferably the ZnO content is 0-5%, and even more preferably no introduction.
本発明のガラス成分の好ましくは(ZnO+Y2O3)/La2O3の範囲を0.5以下とし、更に好ましくは0.05−0.3範囲とし、より更に好ましくは0.08−0.15範囲とし、ガラス安定性と転移温度の低下改善に更に有利である。 The glass component of the present invention preferably has a range of (ZnO + Y 2 O 3 ) / La 2 O 3 of 0.5 or less, more preferably 0.05-0.3, and even more preferably 0.08-0. The range is .15, which is more advantageous for improving glass stability and lowering of transition temperature.
R2O(R2OはLi2O、Na2O或いはK2Oの1種或いは数種)はガラスの熔融性を改善して、ガラス化転移温度を下げることができるが、その含有量が10%を超える場合は、ガラス安定性が悪くなり、屈折率が大幅に低下してしまうので、本発明ではR2Oの含有量を好ましくは0−10とし、更に好ましくは含有量範囲を0−5%とし、より更に好ましくは導入しない。 R 2 O (R 2 O is one or several of Li 2 O, Na 2 O or K 2 O) can improve the meltability of glass and lower the vitrification transition temperature, but its content. If There more than 10%, the glass stability is degraded, the refractive index is greatly reduced, preferably the content of R 2 O in the present invention is a 0-10, more preferably the content ranges It is set to 0-5%, and more preferably it is not introduced.
RO(ROはBaO、SrO、CaO或いはMgOの1種或いは数種)はガラスの熔融性を改善して、ガラス化転移温度を低減することができるが、その含有量が10%を超える場合は、ガラスの耐失透性下がるため、本発明ではROの含有量を好ましくは0−10%とし、更に好ましくは0−5%範囲で、より更に好ましくは導入しない。 RO (RO is one or several of BaO, SrO, CaO or MgO) can improve the meltability of glass and reduce the vitrification transition temperature, but if its content exceeds 10% In the present invention, the RO content is preferably 0-10%, more preferably 0-5%, and even more preferably not introduced, because the devitrification resistance of the glass is lowered.
少量のAl2O3の導入はガラスの安定性と化学安定性を改善できるが、その含有量が10%を超える場合は、ガラスの溶融性が悪くなり、耐失透性が低下する傾向があり、そのため、本発明では、Al2O3の含有量を好ましくは0−10%とし、更に好ましくは0−5%とし、より更に好ましくは導入しないことである。 The introduction of a small amount of Al 2 O 3 can improve the stability and chemical stability of the glass, but if the content exceeds 10%, the meltability of the glass deteriorates and the devitrification resistance tends to decrease. Therefore, in the present invention, the content of Al 2 O 3 is preferably 0-10%, more preferably 0-5%, and even more preferably not introduced.
Bi2O3はガラス屈折率を向上する事ができるが、過量に含有する場合は、可視光エリアの短波の長い側の投射率が低下してしまう場合があって、ガラスに着色の傾向が発生してしまうので、本発明ではBi2O3含有量を好ましくは0−10%とし、更に好ましくは0−5%とし、より更に好ましくは導入しないことである。 Bi 2 O 3 can improve the refractive index of glass, but if it is contained in an excessive amount, the projection rate on the long side of the short wave in the visible light area may decrease, and the glass tends to be colored. In the present invention, the Bi 2 O 3 content is preferably 0-10%, more preferably 0-5%, and even more preferably not introduced.
GeO2もガラスの安定性と耐失透性を改善する役割をするが、GeO2は高価な成分であるため、GeO2の含有量を好ましくは0−10%とし、更に好ましくは0−5%とし、より更に好ましくは導入しないことである。 GeO 2 also plays a role in improving the stability and devitrification resistance of glass, but since Geo 2 is an expensive component, the content of Geo 2 is preferably 0-10%, more preferably 0-5. %, More preferably not introduced.
少量なSb2O3、SnO2、CeO2成分を添加することにより、ガラスの澄清効果があるが、Sb2O3の含有量が1%を超えてしまうと、ガラスの澄清性能が低下する傾向があり、強い酸化作用によって成形型の悪化を促すので、本発明ではSb2O3の添加量を好ましくは0−1%とし、更に好ましくは0−0.5%とし、より更に好ましくは導入しないことである。SnO2も澄清剤として添加できるが、その含有量が1%を超えてしまうと、ガラスは着色することが出来、或いはガラスを加熱、難化してモールド成形等二次成形を行う際、Snは結晶核生成のスタートポイントとなり、失透の傾向が生じてしまう。そのため、本発明のSnO2の含有量は好ましくは0−1%とし、更に好ましくは0−0.5%とし、より更に好ましくは導入しないことである。CeO2の役割及び添加量比例はSnO2と一致し、その含有量は好ましくは、0−1%とし、更に好ましくは0−0.5%とし、より更に好ましくは導入しないことである。 The addition of a small amount of Sb 2 O 3 , SnO 2 , and CeO 2 components has a clearing effect on the glass, but if the content of Sb 2 O 3 exceeds 1%, the clearing performance of the glass deteriorates. Since there is a tendency and the strong oxidizing action promotes deterioration of the molding mold, the amount of Sb 2 O 3 added in the present invention is preferably 0-1%, more preferably 0-0.5%, and even more preferably. Do not introduce it. SnO 2 can also be added as a clearing agent, but if the content exceeds 1%, the glass can be colored, or when the glass is heated and made difficult to perform secondary molding such as molding, Sn can be added. It becomes the starting point for crystal nucleation and tends to be devitrified. Therefore, the content of SnO 2 of the present invention is preferably 0-1%, more preferably 0-0.5%, and even more preferably not introduced. The role of CeO 2 and the proportion of the amount added are consistent with SnO 2, and the content thereof is preferably 0-1%, more preferably 0-0.5%, and even more preferably no introduction.
この他、ガラス原料は、硝酸塩、炭酸塩或いは硫酸塩の形で導入し、脱泡性も向上することができる。本発明において、Sb2O3、SnO2或いはCeO2の1種或いは数種と前述の硝酸塩、炭酸塩或いは硫酸塩の1種或いは数種の組み合わせによって使用することも出来、全て効果がある。 In addition, the glass raw material can be introduced in the form of nitrate, carbonate or sulfate, and the defoaming property can be improved. In the present invention, it can also be used by one or several combinations of Sb 2 O 3 , SnO 2 or CeO 2 and one or several of the above-mentioned nitrates, carbonates or sulfates, all of which are effective.
Fは低分散化、ガラス化転移温度を低下する有効な成分であるが、過量に含有する場合は、ガラス屈折率が著しく低下、或いはガラス溶液の揮発性が増大し、ガラス溶液が成形の際に縞が発生し、或いは揮発により屈折率の変動が増大する傾向が生じる。Fは、原料としてYF3、LaF3、YbF3、ZrF4、ZnF2、アルカリ金属フッ化物或いはアルカリ性金属フッ化物を導入することができる。Fの導入量は、ガラス陰イオン総量が100%の場合の、ガラス中の Fイオン百分比で考えられる。陰イオン百分比で計上する場合、本発明ではFの含有量は好ましくは0−30%とし、更に好ましくは0−20%とし、より更に好ましくは導入しないことである。 F is an effective component that lowers the dispersion and the vitrification transition temperature, but if it is contained in an excessive amount, the refractive index of the glass is significantly reduced or the volatility of the glass solution is increased, and the glass solution is formed during molding. There is a tendency for the fluctuation of the refractive index to increase due to the occurrence of stripes or volatilization. For F, YF 3 , LaF 3 , YbF 3 , ZrF 4 , ZnF 2 , alkali metal fluoride or alkaline metal fluoride can be introduced as a raw material. The amount of F introduced can be considered as the percentage of F ions in the glass when the total amount of glass anions is 100%. When counted as an anion percentage, the content of F in the present invention is preferably 0-30%, more preferably 0-20%, and even more preferably not introduced.
[光学ガラスの光学特性]
以下、本発明の光学ガラスの特性について詳細に説明する。
[Optical characteristics of optical glass]
Hereinafter, the characteristics of the optical glass of the present invention will be described in detail.
本発明の光学ガラスは高屈折率・低分散ガラスであり、高屈折率・低分散ガラスより製造されたレンズの多くは高屈折率高分散ガラスより製造されたレンズと組合せて、色差校正に用いる。本発明の光学ガラスは、その用途の光学特性に適用する角度から勘案して、ガラス屈折率範囲を1.85以上とし、好ましくは1.87−1.91範囲とし、更に好ましくは1.88−1.89範囲とする。本発明ガラスのアッベ数νdの範囲は35−45で、好ましくは37−41範囲とし、更に好ましくは38−40範囲とする。 The optical glass of the present invention is a high-refractive-index, low-dispersion glass, and most of the lenses manufactured from the high-refractive-index, low-dispersion glass are used for color difference calibration in combination with a lens manufactured from the high-refractive-index, high-dispersion glass. .. The optical glass of the present invention has a glass refractive index range of 1.85 or more, preferably 1.87-1.91 range, and more preferably 1.88, in consideration of the angle applied to the optical characteristics of the application. -The range is 1.89. The Abbe number ν d of the glass of the present invention is in the range of 35-45, preferably in the range of 37-41, and more preferably in the range of 38-40.
[光学ガラスの着色]
本発明ガラスの短波透射スペクトル特性は着色度(λ70/λ5)で表す。λ70とは、ガラス透過率が70%達する時に対応する波長の事を指し、λ5とは、ガラス透過率が5%達する時に対応する波長の事を指す。その内、λ70の測定は相互並行して且つ、光学研磨の二つの相対平面で厚さが10±0.1mmのガラスを使って、280nmから700nmまでの波長域内の分光透過率を測定して、且つ透過率70%の波長を表す。所謂分光透過率或いは透過率とは、ガラスの上記表面に強度Iinの光を垂直に入射して、ガラスを透過して、異なる平面から強度Ioutの光を入射する状況において、Iout/Iinによって表示する量であり、また、ガラスの上記表面上の表面反射損失の透過率を含んだ。ガラスの屈折率が高いほど、表面反射損失は大きい。そのため、高屈折率ガラスにおいては、λ70の値が小さければ、ガラス自体の着色は極めて少ない。
[Coloring of optical glass]
The short-wave transmission spectral characteristics of the glass of the present invention are represented by the degree of coloring (λ 70 / λ 5 ). λ 70 refers to the wavelength corresponding to the glass transmittance reaching 70%, and λ 5 refers to the wavelength corresponding to the glass transmittance reaching 5%. Among them, the measurement of λ 70 is performed in parallel, and the spectral transmittance in the wavelength range from 280 nm to 700 nm is measured using glass having a thickness of 10 ± 0.1 mm on two relative planes of optical polishing. And represents a wavelength with a transmittance of 70%. The so-called spectral transmittance or transmittance, the light intensity I in the above surface of the glass is perpendicularly incident transmitted through the glass, in the context of the incident light of intensity I out from different planes, I out / It is the amount indicated by I in and also includes the transmittance of the surface reflection loss on the surface of the glass. The higher the refractive index of glass, the greater the surface return loss. Therefore, in high-refractive index glass, if the value of λ 70 is small, the coloring of the glass itself is extremely small.
本発明の光学ガラスのλ70は、410nmより小か等しい、好ましくはλ70の範囲は400nmより小か等しい、更に好ましくはλ70の範囲は385nmより小か等しい、より更に好ましくはλ70の範囲は378−385nmで、より一層更に好ましくはλ70の範囲は378−380nmである。 The λ 70 of the optical glass of the present invention is less than or equal to 410 nm, preferably the range of λ 70 is less than or equal to 400 nm, more preferably the range of λ 70 is less than or equal to 385 nm, even more preferably of λ 70 . The range is 378-385 nm, and even more preferably the range of λ 70 is 378-380 nm.
λ70を410nmより小か等しくさせることにより、色彩バランスが優れる撮影光学系統或いは投射光学系統の光学素子が得られる。この他、着色が少なく、かつ、高屈折率低分散性が有るため、撮影光学系統と投射光学系統のコンパクト化させることができる。これにより、本発明の光学ガラスは、撮影光学系統と投射光学系統を構成する光学素子の材料に適切し、特に、一眼レフカメラの交換レンズの光学素子用材料に適合する。 By making λ 70 smaller or equal to less than 410 nm, an optical element of a photographing optical system or a projection optical system having an excellent color balance can be obtained. In addition, since there is little coloring and high refractive index and low dispersibility, the photographing optical system and the projection optical system can be made compact. As a result, the optical glass of the present invention is suitable as a material for the optical element constituting the photographing optical system and the projection optical system, and is particularly suitable for the material for the optical element of the interchangeable lens of the single-lens reflex camera.
[光学ガラスの転移温度]
光学ガラスは、ある温度区間で徐々に固体状態から可塑態変わる。転移温度とは、ガラス試料が室温から撓み温度まで昇温し、その低温エリアと高温エリアの直線部分の延長線が交差する接点の対応する温度を言う。
[Transition temperature of optical glass]
Optical glass gradually changes from a solid state to a plastic state in a certain temperature interval. The transition temperature refers to the corresponding temperature of the contact point where the glass sample rises from room temperature to the bending temperature and the extension line of the straight portion of the low temperature area and the high temperature area intersect.
本発明ガラスの転移温度Tgは735℃以下で、好ましくは、710−735℃とし、更に好ましくは715−725℃とする。 The transition temperature Tg of the glass of the present invention is 735 ° C. or lower, preferably 710-735 ° C., and more preferably 715-725 ° C.

[Chemical stability of optical glass]
In the manufacture and use of optical glass elements, the ability of the polished surface to resist various erosion-mediated actions is referred to as the chemical stability of optical glass.
